Saturday, We went with Raffaella' sistre Veronica to a town called Mandova. It's normally about 40 minuts away but it took about an hour and a half in the white out rain storm! Westill had fun walking with umbrellas and looking in the shops. We heard the obnoxious bells ring forever in the square and noticed it was a wedding in a fancy church. Hannah snuck up and took some pictures then we went in the church to look around. (more solid marble for Bob and chandelies for cynthia) Sorry I can't label each picture. We bought a typical Italian big crumb cooky thing. You smash it in the package with your fist then everyone shares the pieces.
The drive home was clear so we got to go the speed limit. (which is 130)

When we got home we picked up Raffaella's parents and Veronica's boyfriend Andrea and went out to pizza. Shane always gets a Marguerita (which is just cheese), Hannah always gets the one with proschuto(ham) and I got brave and got Zucchini and stinky cheese. I also sampled some others. The problem is I like them all!

We got up early today (10am) and went to the huge 1000 year old church in the city. It would a lot more interesting in English-especially for the kids. It was a beuatiful experience though.

Tonight we are going to watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame in the Arena ( that ancient collesium I posted last week) It should be amazing!! although all in Italian of course.
Ok, I have to go pack up our raingear for the show, I'll let you know how it goes!
